Abstract:

The increasing emphasis on energy conservation and environmental protection has led to the investigation of alternatives to customary building material. The effort is urgently underway all over the world to develop environment-friendly construction materials that make minimum utility of natural resources and helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The contribution of greenhouse gas emission due to ordinary Portland cement production worldwide is approximately 7%. For each ton of Portland cement manufactures, it is estimated that one ton of CO2 is released into the environment. Compared to Portland cement, fly ash-based geopolymer concrete can reduce carbon emissions by 80%, which has the potential to reduce global emissions by approximately 2.1 billion tons a year. In this connection, Geopolymers are showing great potential and does not need the presence of Portland cement as a binder. This research report presents a study on the Study of Geopolymer Based bacterial Concrete.

Keywords:
